Makes first timers in accounting very at ease, and his sense of humor is a riot. Accounting is not hard if you attend class, take notes, STUDY THEM, and use the lab.It's your own fault if you still say you don't understand it at the end.Get help EARLY on. He's fair and wants everyone to do well.

I agree with the last rater in that hes probably ADD. He goes out of the classroom all the time & gets distracted with what he's doing.

Don't listen to the last two losers who probably flunked out of his class. Take it from someone born with a brain. He will help you learn accounting and keeps it interesting, but it helps if you actually listen in class and do the homework. His notes will help a ton for the exams.

Had him for both BA 256-257. Good teacher, tries to make acounting interesting. Sometimes forgets that it doesn't come as easy to us as to him. Tests are challenging but not overly so (except for a few). Lets you use the same book for both classes. Has an interesting sense of humor, you're either laughing with him or at him.

Really nice guy and funny, but you really need to pay close attention with Barnhart. Knows his stuff and is willing to help, but is not terribly organized. "Just for fun, let's try" is a cue that you don't need to learn it. If you want a better organized prof, Knauf is awesome or (from what I've heard) Spoelman is decent.

If you take the class online you'll do a lot of quizzes, the tests are nothing like the quizes at all. Some of his questions on the tests are opinion based, so good luck with that.

Barnart made accounting a lot easier than my previous professor. I would definitely take him again, although he was incredibly unorganized and bounced all over the place a lot. He's a nice professor, and makes learning the material very easy.

He is one of my favorite professors at GRCC. He is straight forward, we go through the notes, do some problems that go with each part of the notes, and have LearnSmarts (online) and hand-in assignments for each chapter. We have quizzes and four exams through the semester. Final is part accumulative (multiple choice) and problems from last 2 chs.

I took the 7 week version so it was a little faster paced. Homework is graded for quantity not quality. He does use connect, and for the summer course there was always a decently heavy load of stuff to do. Tests were long, each one takes around 2 hours to complete

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Barnhart was great at communicating. He would email us a week before letting us know what to expect the following week. Would then email us the middle of the week with reminders and motivational tips to finish the week strong. I also really enjoyed the assignments. I felt they really pertained to the chapters.

I thought professor Barnhart was vary good. He is a little bit long winded at times and tends to repeat himself quite a bit, but over all I really enjoyed the class. He has good stories that relate to the lecture and gives good examples that help to solidify the concept in your head.

I don't see why most students love him so much, honestly he bored me in class he wandered off what he was teaching a lot and it was frustrating. Doesn't give you any idea what the MC ?'S on the exams are instead you have to study the entire notes. But he is very smart and knows exactly what he is teaching, if you want an A be prepared to study ALOT

He is a terrible professor. Talks about random stories and tries to crack jokes. Will not help you if you are struggling but admires the super smart kids. Don't take accounting 2 with him.

I really enjoyed his teaching style. He has notes you can print and in class add. Listen to what he says that isn't on the notes. like examples. those tend to be the multi pal choice questions. If you do the homework and study you will do good in his class. He gives you extra credit that will also help your grade. Not easily side tracked.

This was the worst grade that I have received in college. The class is exam heavy. He admires the kids that are really smart and just get it. I found myself living in the accounting tutorial lab trying to understand the material. A very difficult course. When I went to him for extra help, wasn't very helpful.

I have been on the Dean's list for 3 years now and I've taken difficult classes but I've still managed to maintain a high GPA. But this class, I failed. This class was all over the place. He was not clear and it's very fast paced. I felt like I was in an advanced accounting class. Take this class online and not with him!!! So much easier online

Professor Richard is a great professor. He always tells the student exactly what it's going to be on each exam. he gives a lot of extra credit, and lots of practice so student can be ready for the test. some people do not do as good in this class because they don't study and think that accounting is an easy A. just study hard & you will be fine.

Don't love accounting or numbers? Take accounting with Prof. B. He loves to teach accounting, teaches so anyone can understand (if you apply yourself). Prof. B. gives practice problems which are exactly like the test questions. Practice them! Very organized, quick grader, enthusiastic teacher! No quizzes, just exams. Homework for completion grade.

He's super nice, friendly and always happy. Good interaction, simple and straightforward homework assignments, can do them from home. Lets you take tests outside of class, just at a set time. Understanding on grading, nice person in general. Super easy, outgoing, communicable, funny, friendly, and a good prof that lets you work at your own pace

Barnhart offers no lecture, all you do in class is work on all the homework he assigns you. Beware there is tonsss of homework. Expect at least 5 assignments each week with test on top of that. Hes a fair grader but this class is really just homework.

Lots of homework

This professor was great, my ONLY professor out of 5 classes that gave feedback on assignments. He also provided valuable feedback, not just a simple good job, he also had a lot of nice things to say and such. The assignment directions were VERY clear and easy to follow, the work was time consuming but overall very easy to do. I enjoyed this class.
